Channel letters are three-dimensional sign characters illuminated by LED lighting modules, featuring aluminum back and side returns and an acrylic face which can be painted to any desired hue.
LED-powered channel letter signs can help your business to attract more clients. With numerous types of channel letter signs available for selection, channel letter signs may prove a powerful means of increasing clientele for your services or products.
Front lit channel letters make use of LED illumination on each letter to illuminate it and are available in an assortment of fonts and sizes to meet all of your branding needs.
Front-lit signs feature translucent acrylic faces with light-diffusing illumination colors that can be customized to match your brand. Trim cap holds this acrylic securely in place for an attractive, professional finish that gives these signs an eye-catching appeal.
Channel letter signage has long been used by retail businesses and commercial buildings alike to communicate branding messages effectively and show people where you are located and broadcast your hours of operation. They can be mounted directly to the wall or raceway for easy installation; additional options for an enhanced appearance such as brushed stainless steel return are also available for an elegant finish.
Front lit channel letters (commonly referred to as standard or front pan channels) feature translucent acrylic faces adorned with LED lighting that illuminates each character, drawing attention day or night. Mounted away from walls using spacers, they create an appealing “halo” of illumination around each letter that gives them the appearance of floating.
Signs like these can often be seen in storefronts and strip malls as well as commercial buildings and corporate offices – as well as being ideal for outdoor use.
Signs made of router-cut aluminum sheets in various thicknesses are then covered with clear or translucent acrylic for a unique halo effect, distinguishing these signs from other illuminated signage options. Halo signs can make any business stand out among their competition; lease agreements and local regulations often permit such illuminated signs as well.
Halo-Lit channel letters are an ideal choice for businesses that want to make an impression with their signage. This style of lighting can draw customers in during low light conditions or at nighttime, and highlight certain products or services. Furthermore, these signs are highly customizable to your business’s specific needs as they come in various shapes and fonts to match its needs – not to mention saving money on power costs! LED halo lighting also saves energy consumption costs.
Halo-lit signs use translucent lexan material that creates an illuminated halo around letters, similar to an illuminated window or frame. They can be installed either standoff-mounted or wall-mounted and the correct distance will depend on factors such as letter size, font style and the surface they’re attached to – the ideal distance will allow light reflection from both face and lexan back surface for uniform illumination.
LED illumination shines directly through the face (or front) of each sign character in this type of channel letter. They are typically made from aluminum backs and sides (called returns ), acrylic faces, and trim caps; however, advanced manufacturing techniques now provide trimless options which provide cleaner appearances.
Front-lit signs are an increasingly popular choice for storefront entrances in malls, office building atriums and other commercial locations. Their high visibility ensures they remain effective day or night and they can even be customized to match your brand identity.
To create a front-lit sign, we begin by router cutting a flat sheet of aluminum into the shape of your letters or logo and forming its corners into a “can”. Once painted to your specifications and fitted with LED modules for lighting, this “can” is placed centered within its lexan back which then reflects onto its acrylic face to produce an eye-catching halo effect.
